    As most know, the TRD baja left and right springs are the same height, so if they're installed with bilstein 5100 set at 0", the driver side should be expected to sag.

    Would using a 1/4" spacer plate on the left side be enough to level the front, or would it be better to skip the spacer plate and just set the drivers side 5100 to .85" and passenger side to 0" ?
    (I'm trying to keep the lift to 2" to avoid alignment issues with stock UCAs)

    Just trying to plan this out so I can get this mod done as soon as it gets warm again, and I'm a little fuzzy on handling the driver side sag without use of coilovers.

    i think if you set to .85 then driverside will be higher. the 1/4 spacer is all you need to correct lean

    Thanks for the reply! I forgot to mention, that I saw someone's thread on the 1/4" spacer NOT being enough to correct the lean with either the baja or eibach or Ome springs. Do people buy 2 spacers just in case the 1 isn't enough?
